When our heart stops beating

[U1]

So much love just cannot vanish into thin air
And when our heart stops beating, it will still be there.
Above and beyond the finish of a being,
Our love lives after us, death is only freeing.

I like to think that a body that went through so much
During its lifetime cannot be reduced to touch,
Sight, hearing, smell and taste; it is a breeding ground
Where life germinated and where love can be found.

This is why I don’t believe in heaven, nor hell
And I really pity those, though I wish them well,
Who have faith in a place waiting for us above
For the only thing worth believing in is love.
